Well, it is beginning.
It's unfortunate that both Steve Bradley and Shawn Goff believed BJU's hype that they would be safe if they had a "good year" in spite of the BJU Civil War 2022.
But as of last Friday, the Director of Admissions and the Assistant Direction of Admissions -- Steve Bradley and Shawn Goff -- both were fired from Bob Jones University.
The excuse was "restructuring." That's code for downsizing. Which is code for shrinking. Which is a hop-skip-and-a-jump from the inevitable closure.
Here are the details:
Steve responds:
"A lot of hurt."
Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. Don't get high on your own supply.
Shawn, honey, you should know how to discern good evidence from bad. You used to know.
When they are firing top people at the beginning of a semester in a way that feels out of the blue like this? That's bad.
Nobody's safe at BJU. Nobody.

Today on Donuts and Dogs we encountered a large dog with a muzzle in a group with a few other dogs on the trail. I didn’t initiate anything but the dog came up and rubbed so aggressively affectionately on us that we had to pet him.
I offered that I’ve seen dogs muzzled to prevent them eating rocks as a roundabout question. His mom sighed and said he has to wear it because otherwise he eats marijuana.

Hey Twitter employees getting laid off tomorrow! IMPORTANT INFO from a CA employment attorney (me):
CA's "WARN" law requires Twitter to give you 60 days notice of a massive layoff.
A layoff of 50+ employees within a 30 day period qualifies.
I know you didn't get that notice.
This WARN law applies to all California employers of 75+ employees, which obviously includes Twitter with its thousands of employees.
Purpose of the law is to give laid off employees time to figure out how to handle this disruption.
And Elon completely ignores it.
Employers like Twitter who violate the WARN Act face civil penalties of $500/day for each violation. With thousands of employees, this could be significant, though maybe not to Elon.
Employees laid off in violation of the WARN Act receive back pay at the employee's final rate or 3 year average of compensation, whichever is higher. Twitter would also be liable for workers' medical expenses that would have been covered under an employee benefit plan.
Twitter will be liable for all of these (civil penalties, lost compensation, lost medical and other benefits) & attorneys' fees for the 60 days it failed to give workers notice.
This flagrant violation of workers rights is outrageous.
Who's in for a class action? LET'S DO THIS
Also, CA's strong antidiscrimination laws apply to Twitter's big layoff tomorrow. Are people of color, women and/or older workers disproportionately chosen, for example?
This was done so hastily, so slapdash, so that the world's richest man can get even richer faster.
We'll see how long Twitter lets my posts stay up. If they take them down tonight, before the layoffs, that means they were on notice of the law I cite and chose to punish me rather than follow it.
That's consciousness of guilt and I'd use it as the basis for punitive damages.

She’s drawn in a folding chair with her head in her hands, similar to the same meme of Shinji doing so. In the second image, it shows the same drawing with text saying, “When Chat Noir doesn’t put his Minecraft bed next to yours.” End ID]
